Ryberg was one of three applicants who received the Rome Prize fellowship in 1924. The award included an annual stipend of $1250 and was for two years.^[1]

During her time at the academy Ryberg studied under Tenney Frank of Johns Hopkins and Charles Rufus Morey of Princeton.

Later in life during her time at Vassar, Ryberg took several leaves of absence to return to the academy and work in the library and various museums in Rome.^[1]
